Refuting Plantinga's God and Other Minds
#13
RE: Refuting Plantinga's God and Other Minds
A religious believer may attempt to dodge the issue by claiming they do not agree mind has anything to do with a material brain. But the Watchmaker's Principle also applies to souls. If we all are given souls, then we all have minds caused by souls. Again, to deny that proposition is to make the Bible as a revelation a bizarre mockery, special pleading gone insane. Only I have a soul and thus a mind and everybody else is a mindless automaton?

Plantinga is full of it. How he writes stuff, gets it published, without immediate debunking is beyond me.
